@danielissaq: Your router keeps a live list of everything connected to it, and almost nobody has ever opened it. Two minutes, do it while you swipe. Count first. Go room by room and count everything that touches WiFi. Phones, laptops, TV, console, watch, printer, plugs, bulbs, doorbell. Most homes land past twenty, and that number alone surprises people. Write it down. Then open the list. iPhone: WiFi, the little i, and the Router line. Android: WiFi, the gear next to your network, and Gateway. Type that number into a browser, the login is on the router sticker, then open Connected devices. Most rows won't have a name. Copy the first six characters of the MAC address and search it with mac lookup. It hands you the manufacturer. A scanner app does the same job if you want it faster. One thing that saves you a panic: if the second character is 2, 6, A or E, that address is made up. Phones fake it by default now, so that one is your own phone hiding. Whatever is left gets the last test. Turn one device's WiFi off and watch which line drops out. Still lit? Change the WiFi password. That kicks everything off at once, then you add your own back on. Run it every season. New plugs, old guests, a phone you gave away. The list drifts fast. #wifi #cybersecurity #techtok #router #privacy
